The sport seats should break in after a while. I wasnt crazy about mine, either, at the beginning, but theyre fine now.

I remember test driving both back in '02 - not a current memory though - and the Sport Seats I think gave a bit more thigh support and lumbar support. You might want to trade cars with someone in your area for a w/e before getting rid of those seats. I think the Sport Seats are a little more supportive. Of course everyone has a different body type. YMMV.

My initial impressions of the sport seats on my new-to-me cabrio is that they have a bit more lumbar support than I would like. It almost feels at times like they're digging into my back. That said, I don't feel that all the time, so perhaps I was just being overly sensitive or analytical about the newness of the car.
